PHP Manual: Returns the name or oid of the tables field

Description

stringintfalse pg_field_table(PgSql\Result $result, int $field, bool $oid_only = false)

pg_field_table returns the name of the table that field belongs to, or the table's oid if oid_only is true.

Parameters

result: An PgSql\Result instance, returned by pg_query, pg_query_params or pg_execute(among others).
field: Field number, starting from 0.
oid_only: By default the tables name that field belongs to is returned but if oid_only is set to true, then the oid will instead be returned.

Return Values

On success either the fields table name or oid, or false on failure.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.1.0	The `result` parameter expects an PgSql\Result instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 Getting table information about a field

<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");

$res = pg_query($dbconn, "SELECT bar FROM foo");

echo pg_field_table($res, 0);
echo pg_field_table($res, 0, true);

$res = pg_query($dbconn, "SELECT version()");
var_dump(pg_field_table($res, 0));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

foo
14379580

bool(false)

Notes

Note:
Returning the oid is much faster than returning the table name because fetching the table name requires a query to the database system table.
